How to scrap your car in Lowestoft

1. Get a quote

Simply enter your car’s registration number and postcode, and we’ll give you an instant scrap value quote. With free collection included, you’ll receive the full amount if you choose to accept. Think your vehicle might be worth more? Provide a few extra details about its condition when asked, and we’ll see if it qualifies as salvage. Salvage vehicles are sold for parts and can often earn you a much higher payout.

2. More information

Give us a bit more information about your vehicle, and we’ll see if it can be sold as salvage instead of scrap. You may need to confirm details such as whether it still drives, has wheels, or a functioning engine. While a salvage offer may take a few extra minutes to generate, the prices are usually much higher than what you’d receive for scrap!

3. Collection & payment

When you accept an offer, the price is locked in - no renegotiations, no hidden charges, and no surprises. You’ll get the full amount promised. Choose a collection time and place that suits you, and your vehicle will be collected safely and professionally by trained experts.

How is salvaging different to scrapping?

When a car is salvaged, the buyer will break it apart and retrieve any surviving parts from inside that can be resold or reused in other vehicles. Salvage cars are usually worth more than scrap. Scrap vehicles are simply crushed and their materials are then recycled.

What will happen to my scrap car?

Scrap your car with Scrap Car Comparison and it will be taken to an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) to be crushed and recycled professionally and safely.

Can I sell my specific make or model?

Yes, we can scrap any car that you might wish to sell. It doesn’t matter if it’s a super rare model or a foreign import, our team know how much it’s worth and how to get you the proper value. Over the years, we’ve dealt with all sorts of vehicles here at Scrap Car Comparison, so for instant offers from local, professional buyers, get a free quote right now.

How much is a scrap car worth in Lowestoft?

Your scrap vehicle will be priced up based primarily on the current scrap metal cost in the Lowestoft area. Scrapping a vehicle essentially amounts to scrapping the metal it’s made from, so the weight of the car plays a big role in determining its value. Heavier vehicles are generally worth more. There are other factors that influence the offers you’ll get though, including age, condition, make, and model.

Can I sell my damaged, broken, written off car?

Yes, your damaged, broken, or failed MOT car can be scrapped. Get an instant quote and arrange collection for your car in Lowestoft – even if it’s a non-runner!

How do I get the best price for my car?

Many older or written-off cars aren’t destined for the scrap heap. Some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Ensure you describe the car’s condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees—our quotes always include free collection.

But the single most important factor to getting the very best price for your scrap car is to speak directly with one of our advisors! After you accept a quote online, we'll give you a call to confirm details and schedule collection. Use this call to share any info that might boost your offer and get the highest payout possible.

Are you prices really guaranteed?

Salvage quotes depend on the car’s condition, not just its weight. Accurately describing the vehicle ensures the highest price and prevents later adjustments. Misrepresentation can result in lower offers.
